General Information
Background:
Insulin-like-growth factor 1 (IGF1), a 70 amino-acid peptide hormone is the principal mediator of biochemical effects of growth hormone (GH). IGF1 is an important growth factor in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. IGF1 is largely synthesized in the liver (75%) and, to a lesser extent, in peripheral tissues. IGF1 have been shown to play an essential role in preventing the formation of fatty liver. IGF1 is a potent mitogen and is inhibited by IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP3). High serum IGF1 and low IGFBP3 are associated with increased risk of several carcinomas.
Synonyms:
IBP1, IGF1, IGF1A, IGF1B, IGFI, IGF-I, MGF
